Install Spybot and run that through once, reboot and do it again. That should take care of any spyware. If you inadvertantly installed that coolsearch toolbar, just throw away your computer and buy a new one. You have to edit the registry to get rid of that monster. Anyway, spybot, reboot, spybot is the best advice I can give.
